So according to my gynemacologist, there are a few possible reasons why I have a swollen lymph node in my armpit, which she broke down as follows:

1. You need to change your razor.
2. You have CANCER.

I am really hoping it is Reason #1. Given the acne all over my boobs and the tendency for my body hair to get confused and grow around under the skin, it seems like a safe bet, but still.

She and I are giving the stupid thing a month to settle down, or we will do an ultrasound, and if that doesn’t explain things, a biopsy.* It has been two weeks and the thing is about the same size, so I confessed at my psych appointment that it had me worried.

My psychiatrist, in his infinite capacity for disinterested therapy, offered me the following opinion:

1. OMFGONOZWTFBBQZORSCANCER.

This just goes to show that I should probably get a psychiatrist who’s less high strung than I am. And, y’know, keep an eye on this here bump.


*While biopsies themselves don’t really creep me out, biopsies on lymph nodes do. For some reason, lymph nodes have always given me the creeps.

It occurred to me that my third option was not very reassuring either. But you don't seem to be panicking and in need of OMG*HUGS*, so I'm just going to add that I'm sure it's nothing and you'll be just fine. <3
